Lovina and Dolphins:

Villa Bunga is located directly at the beach of Lovina-Beach, about 8 minutes drive west from the centre of Lovina, the tourist center of the north. Transport can be easily arranged with one of the drivers that are available.

Lovina is a small but lively village with restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, Spa's for massages and treatments, a supermarket, a local market and even a Swiss Bakery for fresh bread in the morning.

In and around Lovina you have a rich choice of restaurants with delicious national and international cuisines. The prices are still very low, especially in this north part of Bali.

Lovina however, is the most renowned for the dolphins which you can see every morning at dawn during a boat trip. Due to the large population of shrimps at this particularly coastline you will find here year round many dolphins. The boat can be surrounded by dozens of dolphins jumping and playing. If you book a trip, you can arrange to be picked up by a boat in front of the villa. In hotel Melka in Lovina you can actually swim with dolphins.

Snorkeling and Diving: The Balinese sea near Lovina offers several places for great snorkeling and diving. Because of the shallow and calm sea, you will have a good view of the tropical fish.

Certainly worthwhile is a snorkeling or diving trip to Menjangan Island (1 hour drive & 30 minutes by boat). Around the island you will find many colorful fish and coral and this snorkeling site is also very convenient for children as you can start snorkeling directly from the shore of the island. Also worthwhile is a trip to the East coast of Bali (Tulamben) to dive to the famous American war wreck U.S. Liberty.

There are a number of PADI diving schools in Lovina, including a 5 star PADI school called Bali Spice Dive and the well-known school Blue Season Bali Diving at the Zen Resort in Seririt. If you book a snorkeling- or diving trips with one of these schools, they will pick you up at the villa.

Perfect location, good staff and beautifull house

The villa and the garden and pool are in perfect condition. The staff is very kind and they are willing to fulfill all your whishes. The taxidriver Putu speaks good English and shows you the most interesting places and restaurants.

Also the contacts with the booking agency are pleasant. She provides comprehensive information.

Fantastic - Relaxing - Loved every minute.

A great place to relax and enjoy the fantastic service of the staff in the villa or the Spa just next door. The beachfront location gives you the continuous and very relaxing sound of the waves all day. The view from the terrasse or the pavilion in the garden i just fantastic. We spent 12 nights in the Villa and never sat down once inside or turned the TV on. The beach is kept very clean in front of the villa which is not the case for many other parts of Lovina Beach. Even though it was rainy season the weather was never an issue. We will probably go to the exact same villa again.

Villa Bunga is located right on the sandy beach nearby Lovina, the coastal town of north Bali known for the many dolphins you can see in the morning at sunrise.

The surroundings provide ample scope for exploring, discovery and activities. Beautiful beaches, terraced rice-fields, plantations, mountains, temples and some nice villages and towns are close by, such as Lovina and Singaraja. This old capital of Bali is home to the Gedong Kirtya library where you will find the famous Lontar Manuscripts. South of Singaraja you find he most spectacular waterfall of Bali, the Git Git waterfall.

About 10 minutes from the villa the Buddhist monastery, Brahma Vihara Arama, also called the little Borobodur, is worth a visit, just as the famous Hot Springs of Air Panas which are 5 minutes away. You will find wonderful snorkeling and diving sites, such as Menjangan Island nearby and also one of the finest golf courses in Asia, the Bali Handara Kosaido Country Club, is just an hour's drive away.

The villa has 3 large and stylish furnished bedrooms, 2 bedrooms have a queen size bed and 1 bedroom has 2 single beds which can form also 1 queen size bed if necessary. All bedrooms have air conditioning, a ceiling fan and a large closet. In each bedroom we can place an extra (single) bed or child bed if requested. Remarks: all beds have excellent mattresses. One of the bedrooms has a safe deposit box for your personal belongings.
